Photo Flash: First Look at ROMEO AND JULIET at Seattle Shakespeare Company

Seattle Shakespeare Company presents ROMEO AND JULIET by William Shakespeare, directed by Vanessa Miller, opening this Friday, May 6, 2016 and closing May 22, 2016 at the Cornish Playhouse (201 Mercer Street, WA 98109). BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

It's a story that's practically part of our DNA, and yet it still enchants us. A boy, a girl, and a love so deep that they believe they can beat the odds. Families so caught up in the past that they can't see what's in front of them. Time racing past. This time he'll know. This time she'll see. This time the lark will sing for them tomorrow. Live the romance in an up-close and intimate staging where the dancer's swirl past, the sword fighters clash, and the heartbeat of the play mixes with your own.
